Ecology is the cornerstone of the Life Sciences. It provides the
link between the different branches of Life Sciences, structuring
them as a complete concept of life. Ecology studies the
relationships between living beings, be it animal, plants or
microorganisms, and with their environment. How we interact,
benefit or compete with each other, how we evolve together, how the
environment presents opportunities for change, and how living
beings alter the environment to provide for their own needs.
